Dee--When you're in Myrtle Beach, I hope we're in your EATING THOUGHTS---lol. Remember, you have to answer to us upon your return! I am almost through my 5th day of CONTROLLED EATING!!!! Hey, ya gotta start somewhere and I am doing well so far. The weather is HOT --for HERE, milkdud--lol--we're in the upper 70's and lower 80's. That helps me drink more and eat less. I'll have my FIRST weigh in on Monday, so I'll be here for that. Wodka, I am on the same page with you and the dentist's drill. When I was a youngster, my dad and mom took me to an old military dentist friend and his novocaine was WAY out of date and didn't work. I never recovered from those experiences and every dental visit is MAJOR trauma for me, emotionally---besides pinching me in the pocket book! DonnaSNJ! YAY! Good to hear from you! Stay in Touch!!!!! Whatcha been doin'? TreKaren---You've got more guts than me. I went to ONE cycling class and quit---about 2 years ago. It KILLED ME! I do ride my "outside" bike in the summer though. I have padded seat bike pants AND a gel seat---hey! Even though I have extra *fat* padding on my fanny, I still need the other padding; I don't know why! Joyce---You don't want to see your grandchildren, I gather! haha. I can TOTALLY relate to getting your house ready for an open house--it took me SO long--but I finally found I couldn't be a perfectionist about it. Just so the surface stuff and CLEAR it out into the garage or a storage bin as much as you can---then breathe, relax, and get ready! REANNE, NHSuzanne,Marci, and Besh---Get in here---NOW. You guys are MIA too often lately. We're SISTAHS, remember. Ohana now. No one gets left behind... What ever happened to PJ from CA? I wonder what she's up to???? Anybody remember her? Tikanas was her online name. I so enjoyed hearing about her busy and active life... Okay, enjoy! Oh, BTW, DH fired me yesterday at about 9:30am--WOW! I am back at work now, but I have to tell you, working FOR your spouse is a sticky wicket--in more ways than one. (I've only been fired once before, when my ex was having an affair with my boss and she wanted me out of the picture. They served me divorce papers on my birthday...but that was another lifetime ago...)

A terribly invasive plant! Do pull all you can find.

Hi all, I found this nice little fern growing in 1 of my potted plants and repotted it separately around 1+ months ago. After searching around on the internet, my conclusion is that it could probably be a very young specimen of Rabbit's Foot fern, though I did not see any "Rabbit-footed" rhizomes yet. Anyone can help to confirm this please? Thanks! [*Latest Update*] On second thoughts, I think the above fern is not Rabbit's Foot fern as the later ferns I found below should be the real Rabbit's Foot ferns! So, could it be Cystopteris fragilis, or commonly known as brittle bladder-fern/ common fragile fern instead? Thanks! This post was edited by bobochacha on Tue, Dec 23, 14 at 5:38

I finally remembered. After last month, I'll do anything for lucky stuff. Stupid fluffy cat has cost me $550. Son cost me another $200+ (he's still replacing wallet, drivers license, buying Tiles for his wallet, laptop... and oh mom, don't forget, I want an aviator jacket for my birthday. That was ok, since it'll save me having to go buy something and mail it. But sheesh! $$$$). Last, they want me to cough up $$$$ before my upcoming surgery. I told them I could do it in payments. Oy. I could use a lot of luck right now.
